[Lowfer] Daytime XR - ie: 12:30pm change

[Andy - KU4XR]

Thanks for that screen shot Dex, To my eyes, it appears that the 
signal may have improved after I disconnected the HF dipoles from 
the system. They are in the near field of course, but disconnected;
they are just suspended in mid air, however, when connected in any 
way, they become part of the overall antenna setup, whether I have 
them connected to the radio, or grounded. And, after I disconnected
the dipoles, that is when Doug, in Watauga reported that he could 
hear the carrier cycling On/Off....

More to come, Thanks for working with me guys, I appreciate it:
